There will be people rushing out to buy them. There appears to be a
major arms race going on with the big multi engine go fast crowd. I
like the fact that they are a lot quieter than the go fast boats of 20
years ago.

I'm sure you are right that they'll sell, even at $75,000 a pop. I'll
bet the fuel burn is...interesting.

The people who buy them don't worry about fuel burn.


This is one of the platforms they are targeting.

Maybe I will get a pair for my pontoon. ;-)

Unfortunately I think two will put me over the weight limit for gear
and crew.
It is close to the total weight of my boat rigged, full tank of fuel,
the dog and me on board.
